The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) and Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (Rx&D) have welcome finalization of the text for the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
CETA represents the first free trade agreement between any G8 country. EFPIA and Rx&D believe it will, once in place, be beneficial to patients on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as for innovation and research.
